Chapter 5 Home-School Co-operation for
Nurturing the New Generation

Parents and schools are partners. To ensure a healthy development of

children, schools need parents’ support and assistance. Therefore, a close
home-school relationship must be established in order to allow parents to
understand their children’s performance in school, which in turn improves the
coordination between both parties. Parents’ active participation can step up
the synergy of home-school co-operation:

Chapter 6 Develop Children’s Potential through
Comprehensive and Pleasurable Learning Experiences

Quality early childhood education aims to nurture children to attain balanced

growth in the domains of ethics, intellect, physique, social skills and
aesthetics, and to foster their whole-person development.

To attain the goal of quality early childhood education, games and meaningful
activities are essential. A relaxed and enjoyable learning environment will
develop children’s potential, cultivate their interest in learning and enable
them to grow up healthily and happily.

Appendix 3 Kindergarten Education Scheme
.LQGHUJDUWHQ(GXFDWLRQ6FKHPH
The Government implemented the kindergarten education scheme (Scheme)
with effect from the 2017/18 school year. The objectives of the Scheme are
to provide good quality and highly affordable kindergarten education, and
enhance the accessibility of students to different modes of services that suit
their specific needs. Eligible local non-profit-making kindergartens joining
the Scheme will be provided with a basic subsidy for the provision of three-
year quality half-day service for all eligible children. An additional subsidy
will be provided for participating kindergartens offering whole-day and long
whole-day kindergarten services so that parents will pay a subsidised school
fee at a low level.
To ensure that no child will be denied access to kindergarten education due
to a lack of Ànancial means, fee remission will continue to be provided under
the existing Kindergarten and Child Care Centre Fee Remission Scheme for
needy families which can pass the means test of the Student Finance OfÀce
of the Working Family and Student Financial Assistance Agency.
